I was just writing a note to a friend when I realized that Eudora
had put three chilies on it. Whoops, what had I done??! Then I
noticed that the word "dominatrix" had been highlighted in red.
(Sorry, this story isn't going to get as interesting as you think;
I was just talking about Season 2 of the BBC series "Sherlock.")

That got me to wondering about where Eudora stores the list of
words and phrases that can trigger one or more chilies. I browsed
around Eudora Folder but didn't find one. Can the program possibly
be connecting to a file server at Qualcomm?? Seems unlikely.

I'm mostly just idly curious, but I guess if I could find the
file and it's a plain-text file, I could have some fun editing
it. :-) Although I'm the only one who uses this computer, so
that would be more fun if I could edit someone *else's* Eudora
bad-words file and have chilies show up every time they type
some totally inoffensive word. :-)

Boy, am I going to miss the chilies and the dinosaurs when I
finally have to give up Eudora. :-( Are any of the successor
programs putting in amusing features?

/Applications/Eudora/Contents/MacOS/Eudora Stuff/Flame Dictionary. It's
not a plaintext file though.

<http://www.eudora.com/email/features/moodwatch.html> and
<http://www.eudora.com/presskit/pdf/Flaming_White_Paper.PDF> are still
available.
